Grading Parents???

This morning on my way into work, there was some interesting commentary on the radio. Apparently there is some talk of teachers grading parents. Are these people crazy? It is difficult enough trying to figure out what is going on with our students and assessing them, why in the world would anyone want to even attempt to grade parents? This is opening a whole new bucket of worms. I have my opinions as to how children should be raised, but that doesn't mean that I should be grading other people on how they are raising their children. That is just insane. I'm curious as to what opinions other people may have on this topic and any suggestions as to how this "grading system" should be set up or look like.

  1. I honestly don't think it's that out of line, but rather than grading parents, we should be helping educate parents on how to help their child be successful with things like parent nights. There are a lot of parents in our community who are in need of such an education.
